I was really stoked to snag this aluminum rocker last summer:
It has its original vinyl-upholstered cushions. It's super comfy, except on those days where it's too hot to sit on vinyl ;) And of course, it rocks!
I snapped it up before the store had even priced it, and was ecstatic to find they would give it to me for $5. Believe me, I didn't even care if it would fit in the car- I was going to get it home somehow!
I don't know for sure how old it is, but I think I remember seeing a chaise with the same upholstery on the Brady Bunch, and I'm pretty sure we had something like this as a kid as well. So it's not that old, but still a cool piece of vintage.
Stay tuned for next Thursday's part 2, when we go old-school glider.
Oh my, I do love that upholstery, and I certainly remember sitting down on hot vinyl when I was a kid and literally sticking to it. Ouch!! You learn your lesson quickly, though. And of course you sure didn't want to touch that aluminum on a hot day. Can't wait to see the glider--my inlaws have one that I lust after every time we visit but they refuse to give it to me. Grrrrr.

ReplyDeleteLove the old aluminum patio furniture. I have a chaise by the pool with the original atomic pattern vinyl cushion. I also love the Brown and Jordan strap stuff.
